As we gather as a nation this Tuesday in November to figure out precisely what kind of mess we’ve gotten ourselves into, let it be known that Paris Hilton voted –but she won’t say whether or not it was for Donald Trump or not.

In addition to being a banner year for lunacy, 2016 will go down as a time consumed by both black pain and black beauty. A year when we buried the bodies of Philando Castile and Keith Scott and Korryn Gaines, but also welcomed timely, nuanced, portraits of blackness in works like Coloring Book, Atlanta, a new black…

On Sunday night, while collecting an award on behalf of her daughter—a young upstart named Beyoncé—at the BET Awards, Tina Knowles thanked her ex-husband Mathew Knowles. “I also want to thank her father, who taught her the business of music,” she said.

To say nothing of its artistic merits, Beyoncé’s Lemonade album/visual album/film is a feat of collaboration, organization, and execution. The budget for the project is estimated to have been about $1.35 million, but when you look at the credits for the album, that almost feels low.

Tina Lawson (formerly Tina Knowles) has discovered Instagram. Beyoncé and Solange’s mama, and, unofficially, everybody’s mom, is leaving her social media footprint with what I would argue is one of the best mom-produced Instagram accounts available.

Queen Mother Tina Knowles Lawson, newly married, has written an open letter to her children—Beyoncé, Solange, Kelly Rowland and niece Angie and, in theory, the rest of us—for the occasion of mother’s day, at Time. It is a minor revelation.

Mrs. Tina Lawson, formerly Mrs. Tina Knowles, was married on April 12 in a ceremony on a boat flanked by her daughters Beyoncé and Solange.

During a recent press conference for Avengers: Age of Ultron, Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner, like two giddy pickup artists on Tinder, referred to their fellow female Avenger as a “whore” and a “slut” for rejecting their characters’ romantic advances. The pair has since apologized.

As you know, next week Beyoncé is releasing a box set that contains two new songs, "7/11" and "Ring Off." Full-length versions of both tracks have hit the Internet just in time for the weekend. One is a drunk-in-club record and the other is seemingly a tribute to Mama Tina.

Solange's wedding last weekend looked like a truly joyous occasion, and she sparkled with happiness in every photo. But there was one person in attendance whose radiance rivaled that of Solange, and no, it was not Beyoncé. It was Tina Knowles, Mother to the Bride, Queen of Everything. (And by "everything," I mean…

Thankfully, an attendee captured footage of Tina Knowles dancing on stage with Jamie Foxx on Monday night at the Gabrielle's Angel Foundation for Cancer Research's 2014 Angel Ball. Um, no, this is not considered twerking, Inquisitr. But it is a smooth coordinated two-step.

You might think that heading out and about in brightly colored sleepwear would attract attention but not so according to Adele, who loves nothing more than color blocking her way through London's tourist hotspots. "I was a bit worried. I was in my pajamas. I was in color. I'm always in black. I threw pumps on, this…
